Topic: Amazing 69 Z/28 Survivor (Read 83691 times)

Chick, Thank you for those new photo's. The carb studs were an item that I've been wanting to compare from this car. The studs with the undercut at the top seem to be original across the board and very very hard to find. Some of the more advanced vendors do not have these studs. I have these same studs in my intake, and know of a few more cars that have them, but many have the replacement type. I was wondering how rare these studs actually are, or not.

Thanks,Bryan

Bryan, your comment would be more meaningful if you could post a comparison pix between the original 'undercut' top type of stud, along with the reproduction you are referring to.. that would show the difference(s)...?

I believe we've collected sufficient information from enough shifter bodies/cars to know that there is a date coded into the manufacturer's number; not an explicit 'date only code', but the date of manufacture (month and year) is coded into the number on the shifter body.

Well we have much to update on as Skip and I had his incredible 69Z survivor on our 4 post lift to review and take lot's of pictures. I will be posting them over this weekend. And for anyone going to Carlisle's GM Nationals Skip's 69Z will be in the solid lifter display building just outside gate one. Busy week here with the street rods in town.

Great pics. That is interesting with the orange and white. I didn't take a pic of my passenger side, but my drivers rear brake hardware has the julian date in white and still has the original brake shoes as well. I am pretty sure it has never been serviced since new.
